12 Must-Haves For Dogless Dog Lovers Who Want To Celebrate Puppy Love

Despite being the biggest dog lovers to roam this earth (I mean, we do read BarkPost), unfortunate circumstances have left many of us dogless. Of course, we pet our friends’ dogs and every pup that passes us on the street, but sometimes that just isn’t enough.

Save for actually heading to the shelter and adopting a dog (or dognapping your friend’s pupper), these must-haves are what every dogless dog lover needs to feel the puppy love.

I know what you’re thinking: Why do I need treats if I don’t have a dog? Dogs are drawn to treats, so carrying a few of these in your pocket or purse will have packs of pooches running over to you for pats and savory snacks. (Just make sure you ask their owner if it’s okay first!)

Why bother feeling jealous of your friends who have to bathe their dogs when you can have more than 120 wet dogs at your fingertips? “Wet Dog” captures all the hilarity and adorableness of bath time sans the wet dog smell and water clean-up.

Assuming that your best friend loves dogs as much as you do, these friendship bracelets are a great way for the two of you to outwardly express your fondness for canines, despite having none of your own. Plus, when you one day do adopt your first dog, you can also get him a matching charm for his collar.

You may not have a real dog to admire, but a picture of a dog you can carry around on your phone seems like a pretty puptastic alternative (for now). Plus, every time you take out your phone, you’ll remind those around you of your love for dogs.
